i am a dual booter and i hate to boot into windows. I run as many windows programs that i like as possible in wine. I only boot into windows for listening to music becausei cant get my damn onboard sound to work in Linux.
lazygamer:
WineX also makes sense for playing some games that don't even work on Windows. For example, I wanted to play Resident Evil(PC version) awhile back. Woulden't work on Windows XP, woulden't even work on Windows 98SE.
I know what's gonna be said, "get a console! Especially for a console game!". Well, RE for the PC has better graphics and loadtimes, and proper gore for one thing. But I can also pirate games or run pirated PS or N64 games on an emulator. That is the big advantage over consoles, you have the option to pirate and get a free lunch.
Master of Reality:
the thing i hate about consoles is that the AI almost always sux ass in console and is way better on computers. Have you seen RTCW or Half-Life or UT on a console. I think half-life has some kickass AI (too bad its only for windows...those bastards).
Freakin AI in consoles is soo phuxoring retarded.
You also have the ability to update computers and make the games run and look way better than consoles.

dude are you snorting crack? my best friend uses Wine to play Team Fortress (it's a mod for Half-Life just like Counter-Strike is) and it works perfectly, all the menus work and everything. Winex is just Wine with some driver support. i had Winex before (found a link to it for free on winehq.org once) and it worked perfectly as well.
